All of us - kids, mom and dad - went to North Carolina to meet with the team.
We met for dinner on the arival day with Steve and Tom.
Next day we had a tour of the labs and more meeting with the staff.
As the result of meetings and discussions the following work was done and planned:
- AGU skin fibroblasts were received by lab and the work of growing/collecting/preserving for test had began;
- Virus carries is being constracted;
- Gene to be inserted later on, when fibroblasts would be ready for testing;
- Mice will be ordered as soon as checks will be cleared; Mice ordered on week 2, 2013.
- Checks are written for 19 500 US$ on December 19th; additional 19 500US$ will be deposited in April;
- Had discussion with JS in regards to joint work with Franch lab; he is glad to do it. French deligation will be visiting in January and will discuss more detail;
After the order, mice will be received by the lab in ~2 month. It will take another 2-3 month to establish the mice colony, before they can be injected with the virus. Work with fibroblasts will be done before mice are injected.
